MURDER TAKES THE CAKE
 
Yodel Watson was dead. And some people blamed my spice cake.

When the meanest gossip in Brea Ridge dies mysteriously, suspicions turn to cake decorator Daphne Martin. But all Daphne did was deliver a spice cake with cream cheese frosting--and find Yodel's body. Now Daphne's got to help solve the murder and clear her good name. Problem is, her Virginia hometown is brimming with people who had good reason to kill Yodel, and Daphne's whole family is among them.

"Calling all cozy lovers, another winner is on the scene with Gayle Trent's Murder Takes the Cake, a delectable delight. Daphne Martin is a wonderful and brave heroine beginning a new life in a new place and a new career. A terrific beginning of a new series." - Marilyn Meredith, author of Kindred Spirits, latest in the Deputy Tempe Crabtree series.
